It's always the same:
1. Someone makes a comment saying the SBC is way cheaper to do and is vastly superior to the 928's 32V engine.
2. I ask for facts to back up those statements
3. Other party gets hot and bothered and makes personal attacks or remarks which have nothing to do with the topic
I guess as an Engineer, I tend to look at things a little differently than others. I had the Renegade guys tell me that the power to weight on their conversion made it such that the SBC only needed 500 HP to keep up with the 600 HP 32V. When you ran the power to weight ratio it showed that the SBC would have to weigh absolutely nothing for that statement to be true. I mean, come on we're not talking about solving a differential equation here, this is 5th grade math.
